...Lazy Test" (sample: Has masturbation lost its fun?) to "The Slut Test" (Do you own a midget who serves you sex in the night?), all of which are free. The quizzes at rateyourself.com range from "What Kind of Underwear Is Right for You?" to "Are You a Creative Lover?" Even the more sober topics, like "Should You Go to Graduate School" and "Does Your Boss Take Advantage of You?" take less than 10 minutes to complete...
...children in distress? Yes, says Christophe Ruggia's Les Diables, about two abandoned kids - Joseph (Vincent Rottiers) and his autistic sister Chloé (Adèle Haenell) - searching for their home. Joseph is Chloé's protector and, if he were only old enough to realize it, her lover, with all the devotion and myopia true love entails. Harrowing and delicate, this French film transcends case history to become a work of seamless art and broken heart. And for a retreat into luminous, ageless film craft, queue now for Patrice Leconte's L'homme du train, a bittersweet fable about...
...hate it (U.S. audiences will not get the chance to do either since no distributor has picked it up), 11'09"01 is the perfect microcosm of a smorgasbord festival like Toronto's: impassioned visions colliding with one another, shouting or mewling for the attention of the browsing movie lover.

In the '80s, Toronto introduced North American audiences to Hong Kong's top action directors, John Woo and Tsui Hark; in 1994 it ran a retrospective of Mani Ratnam's Tamil-language politicized melodramas...
...forbidden to make movies for seven years. His comeback film, Springtime in a Small Town, is a remake of a 1948 film by the Shanghai director Fei Mu. A young married couple lives in a kind of genteel torpor, broken by the arrival of the wife's ex-lover. More a still life than a drama, Tian's gorgeous portrait of anxiety and anticipation gains power in part from its time and place (China a year before Mao's Revolution), in part from the director's own tiptoeing through a minefield of political metaphors. The film's own happy ending...
...Bradstreet’s words, which were described as being “a reminder to today’s students that the future holds promise for all who enter its gates.” Such a gross misinterpretation of this woman’s words! As a poetry lover, I was appalled. As a feminist, I was hardly surprised. After all, this eight-page “Spotlight on Women” seemed dedicated to misconstruing the words and experiences of Harvard women. This was not a spotlight in any real sense: light was not shed equally...
